Frequently Asked Questions
Allow two to three paper napkins per guest for a meal, and more for a cocktail party, where guests take a fresh one with each drink. Most packs hold 20, with guest towels closer to 15 and paper-linen dinner napkins around 12. One or two packs cover a small gathering.
Cocktail, luncheon, and dinner napkins differ by size and by the occasion they suit. Cocktail napkins are the smallest, sized for a drink and a few bites. Luncheon napkins are mid-size, for brunch and daytime meals. Dinner napkins are the largest, made to fold at a full place setting.
Paper napkins suit a dinner party well, especially the heavier paper-linen styles. They fold at each place like cloth and hold up across several courses. Many hosts set guest towels in the powder room and dinner napkins at the table.
Caspari paper napkins are compostable, not recyclable. They are FSC-certified and printed in Germany with nontoxic, water-based inks, so a clean napkin breaks down in home or municipal compost. Used napkins belong in compost too, since food residue keeps soiled paper out of most recycling streams.
